Configuring and Editing Maintenance Schedules
To configure a schedule, click the name of the schedule to be configured.
Then choose from the following options to configure the Maintenance Schedule:
•
To turn the Maintenance Period on, click the Activate Maintenance Schedule option.
•
From the Day drop-down menu, select a day of the week when the schedule will occur.
•
Use the From and To fields to enter the period of time that the Maintenance will occur.
•
Select the Once Only checkbox to create a one-time only schedule; if this checkbox is not selected,
the schedule recurs on a weekly basis.
•
Select Install Apple Software Updates to install any available Apple Software Updates.
•
Select Lock Out User to prevent a user from accessing the computer during the Maintenance Period.
•
Select Warn User At to provide a message to users warning them that the computer will be taken
over at a specified time, and enter the warning time in the field provided.
•
Use the Message for User text box to enter a custom message for the user, explaining that the
Maintenance Schedule will take place at a specified time; by inserting %d as a variable into the
message, Deep Freeze will automatically display the number of minutes until the Maintenance
Period begins. (Again, %d is a variable corresponding to the number of minutes between the
current time and the time that scheduled Maintenance will begin.)
•
Select Shutdown After Maintenance to shut the computer down after the Maintenance Period is complete.
The minimum time allowed for a Maintenance Period is 10 minutes.
To save any changes made, click Apply; the changes take effect after a restart.
